PRESENTATION TO HATFIELD.
When Hatfield came to the bat in the
seventh linning Saturday, Umpire Lynch
handed him box containing an elegant
horse shoe pin, set with diamonds, present
from about twenty-five admiring friends in
the city. Hatfield appeared pleased with the
gift and bowed his acknowledgements amid
cheers by the audience. The pin Is valued
at 500 and is a fitting recognition Of his
faithful services to the Portland team.
THE PoRTLANDs sERENADED.
The management rendered the Portlands
a serenade Saturday night, Chandler giving
a concert of about an hour in front of the
United States Hotel. There was also fine
display of fireworks. Three cheers were
given for the club, and for Manager Spence
ana capt Andrqs. The cry OF P-o-r-t-l-a-n,d
,rah by the enthusiastic crowd present.
Everybody was happy and had good time.
THE SITUATION.
The Portlands and Lowells are now tied
for first position in the New England league.
As matter Of fact, however, the Portlands
have won the championship and the manage
ment will claim it at the league meeting
which will be held at once. Both clubs have
won the same number of games and Lowell
has suffered one more defeat. But owing to
a protest made by Lowell that Shelter was
an illegal player when the Manchesters de-
feated them May Goth that game does not
count against Lowell. Manchester claims
that this is an injustice and has asked that
the vote be reconsidered. The Boston papers
are making the claim that the vote Is all
right and that the game should have been
thrown out But papers whose State pride
leads them to hope that Lowell will win the
pennant" should not be considered as au-
thority. The Portland management will in
sist that the defeat shall count against
Lowell, bat whether the league will vote
that il does remains to be seen. II they do
Portland has the pennant already. IL not a
series Of games will have to be played, which
Portland must win to hold it. McGunnigle
has half dozen protests in that would effect
POrtland's chance II the league directors
should be foolish enough to hear TO them,
but they are so fimsy there is no danger
| from them. One Of his protests is against
the Lynn games counting for Portland on
the score that nine innings were not played.
These protests are put in only to blind the
land has honestly won the pennant and to
try and win 1t to Lowell by foul means as
long as he couldn't by fair.
